DO NOW: on small paper Identify the difference(s) between ribosomes in cytoplasm and on ER. Can cytoplasmic and ER ribosomes ever change places? If so, when?
15
ER Protein Targeting Ribosomes begin translating; if first stretch of polypeptide bears a particular sequence (signal polypeptide), it attracts an SRP and moves to an SRP receptor protein in ER membrane. Polypeptide feeds into cisternal space, signal peptide is removed and degrades and ribosome dissociates. Protein remains in ER membrane, routed to Golgi for further processing, etc. Other signal peptides probably target mitochondria, chloroplasts, etc.
